POI Nearby Search

The POI Nearby API returns points of interest of a specific category within a given radius of any coordinate across Latin America. Results include the name, distance, coordinates, and address of each matching venue.

Click anywhere on the map — or type coordinates below — then select a category and radius to search. Categories use raw OSM key:value tags. Results will be empty for oceans or locations outside the coverage area.

This API is ideal for powering “restaurants near me” searches using amenity:restaurant, or finding supermarkets in a city (e.g. Mérida, Mexico at 20.960, -89.614) using shop:supermarket.
